Dear Sir, thank you for your teaching. may I ask a question about you said "but one of those wasn't planned." at timing bar 1:57 when you teaching "AS"............. The meaning of that sentense imply the matter without prediction and then happened (the matter is occurred suddenly) ?

[@HappyEnglishNY]

Yes, that’s usually how AS is used 👍

What does As mean here?
As the civil war in Yemen has grown more violent this year, lawyer Maeen Al-Obaidi continues to be focused on peace building in the besieged city of Taiz.

Thanks 🙏

[@mauriciom4531]

I've been researching this and your explanation doesn't seem to work with this phrase being correct according to Cambridge dictionary "We were lying on the beach sunbathing as they were playing volleyball". Both events seem to be planned. Am I misunderstanding something here?

[@HappyEnglishNY]

Well, you're correct in saying that both events seem to be planned...but seem is a big word, and it all depends on the context. At what point was the decision made to "lie on the beach" or "play volleyball." It always depends on the context. Thanks for your input. 👍

[@carlosguillermoeguizabalor981]

woooow Only with your explanation did I understand the difference between "AS" and "WHILE". Thank you so much

[@mehdibordeaux8991]

Hi,
I heard we cannot use while for two single actions (at least one must be a continuous action) and while is only before a continuous action. This is not the case in examples you gave. Am I wrong or there's one thing I missed out?

[@HappyEnglishNY]

it's true, that we tend to use while with a continuous action, but, for example, I listen to music, while I drive is perfectly acceptable, at least an American English

[@rajibhosen1535]

Good

[@HappyEnglishNY]

Thanks a lot 🙏

[@kaydtech4990]

Thank you, when you was explaining the differences between, when, while and as, i have taken a note.

Can I use them in the same way while I talk about past events?

Great question...Yes, you can 👍

...but as and while are both interchangeable if one event happens unintentionally or unplanned.

I have a suggestion.
Why don't you make some exercises in your website under each video?! That way we test our comprehension.

[@HappyEnglishNY]

Great Suggestion. All of the Word Wednesday Lessons have a downloadable file for extra study.

[@HappyEnglishNY]

What's your question?

[@davidrock65]

What's the difference between “ I always listen to music while I'm driving.” and I always listen to music while I drive?”

[@HappyEnglishNY]

Good question. No difference at all. While is usually followed by a sentence with a progressive verb, but grammatically it can be followed by any sentence or a gerund. Thanks!

[@davidrock65]

@@HappyEnglishNY thank you

[@nedaahmadi4011]

Is this sentence correct please tell me while you had been sleeping he went outside

[@faryalgohar903]

Difference between when and as not cleared..I didn't understand.

[@HappyEnglishNY]

Good question. Think of it this way:
As shows that the relationship between the two things was not planned...it happened: spilled my coffee as I walked out of the café.
When shows that one thing happens as a result of the other thing: When you open the refrigerator door, the light comes on.
I hope that's helpful.

[@ImranKhan-mc9fm]

That was pretty but that is not at all there are many differences we use when to refer ages as to things Which develop or change together

[@HappyEnglishNY]

Good point…but I can’t fit it all onto one video👍

[@alirz8066]

I dropped my wallet as I was walking in the park

Good example, thanks 🙏

[@JahricLago]

Hi! Which is more correct?
1. Her dream persists in the real world WHEN she gets hired as a writer.
2. Her dream persists in the real world AS she gets hired as a writer.

[@HappyEnglishNY]

They are both correct, depending on which meaning you want to say. "WHEN she gets hired as a writer" means at the time she gets hired. "As she gets hired as a writer" could mean because it will happen or during the process she is getting hired...so context is key!
